acroyearevery so often, the circuit breaker that controls the external plugs (including the garage) trips for no reason whatsoever (though it tripped in a major way in may when the siding guys screwed up the back door plug). well, it did that while we were gone.
the garage fridge is on that line.
well, so much for 1 pot roast, 4 prime ribs, 2 burgers (thankfully we'd gone through most of the burgers over july 4), lots upon lots of frozen pasta-vegetables, some various frozen things we'd never get around to eating, and, oh well, the top of the wedding cake (not that we've bothered to open the damned thing in the last year).
and so much for a butt-ton of leftover sodas i simply won't drink anymore. not only was i removing them from my diet, but after having had "real coke" from britain (still made with real sugar and not "high fructose corn syrup), i almost have reached the point of never again (except when passover coke is available in the spring). this from a former 2 coke-a-day habit man. only lost one beer 'cause i tried hard to have no leftovers after the july 4 party.
so only lost about $50 in "stuff" (veggies and the steaks) which isn't too bad.
when we get the electrician to finally do something about our voltage issues, we'll see if he can up the ohmage on that sucker to hold it stable.

Re: Does it happen when it rains?
